Flipping horizontal

Post by Greysnarthur »

I have a character which I created, complete with actions, facing left. Having now flipped it to face right, the actions are not quite performing correctly.

They are fine except for the first frame, which is still facing left and will not flip despite constantly re-checking the 'flip' box.

Any ideas as to why and what I can do about it?

Thanks

How are you "flipping"? The best bet would be to duplicate the layer/s and flip the layers rather than flipping the vectors themselves. The actions should work then because only the layer is flipped, any motion applied is "the same" as before but the layer is flipped.

Vern,

I didn't duplicate but just flipped the Group.

I try duplicating first tomorrow.

Thanks.
